Idea to make survivor 2v8 more interesting

With 2v8 the reason why Killer queue takes so long is because there are not enough survivor players, there is not enough survivors because survivor is really lame and doesn't add anything new to the table aside from classes and getting instant two tapped by the two killers chasing you (There are ways to avoid this though it just doesn't feel fun). So what is survivor missing? I think it is the feeling of individuality.

You can play as any survivor you want but every survivor on your team can run the same class out of 4 classes so why not have it so what class you are running depends on what survivor you are running, set the base 4 classes to the base 4 survivors (Dweet, Meg, Claud, Jake) and every time you release an update to 2v8 add new survivors alongside the new killers with unique powers! I'll throw out some examples with short summaries.

Nea:

  • Nearby teammates rushed actions do not create noise notifications, their aura is hidden and they don't leave scratch marks upon activating an AOE ability

Ace:

  • Passive aura of luck from his charm, all survivors within his radius get more skill checks, great skill check size is increased and the bonus on hitting the skill checks are much more impactful

Feng:

  • (I cannot think of anything right now)

David:

  • A hardened teammate that can activate an endurance status effect upon himself when near a teammate to tank hits for venerable survivors

There's much more you can do and very easily as you HAVE the content already! Just look at their perks and create a class behind them. Mikaela could place boons! Adam can unho- uncage himself, Thalita can grant speed boosts when healing teammates, etc.

Instead of adding band-aids to "fix" the games problems like adding bots make the game more fun, survivors will play more if their side is more fun.

TL:DR Survivor isn't unique and/or doesn't gain anything different from just playing 1v4 so make survivor have more unique and fun aspects to it so players actually want to play survivor
